The U.S. Navy SEALs were established by President John F. Kennedy in 1962 as a small, elite maritime military force to conduct Unconventional Warfare. They carry out the types of smallunit, high-impact missions that large forces cannot. SEALs got their name from the ability to operate in every environment: sea, air and land. Their motto “The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday” is a testament to the extreme conditions they face with each new day: conducting clandestine missions behind enemy lines...capturing enemy targets and bringing a threatening act of terrorism to resolution in the blink of an eye...persevering against impossible odds.

“In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation's call; a common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country and the American people, and to protect their way of life. I am that man...”Opening of the U.S. Navy SEAL’s official philosophy

Available exclusively from American Mint, this exquisite coin is a stirring tribute to the brave Americans of the Navy SEALs. The obverse features a highly detailed image of a Navy SEAL and the insignia known as the “SEAL Trident.”
